A usage of Free Software

 

At ordinary times, in China, I seldom see the term "Free Software", and it seems that I intentionally avoided it. This is abnormal.

In December 19, Roy schestowitz interviewed Free Software advocate richaed Stallman and talked about some ideas. Stallman believes that the basic idea of the free software movement is that the social environment (conditions) of the software is extremely important, and even more important than the technical characteristics of the software itself. What does this sentence mean? Simply put, the purpose of the free software movement is to push people to accept the idea of free software and to widely use it. Is that a fantasy? Can Free Software develop without commercial benefits? Can the software industry develop without commercial benefits? Does free software fall from the sky by relying only on "Ethical preaching? Obviously, Stallman does not mean this.

Richaed Stallman said, "You can request, or pay to hire programmers to modify Free Software and do what you want to do ". Here, "you" refers to all people, for example, the enterprise boss is also in it. An enterprise boss can hire (a group of) programmers to "modify" the related free software programs for other enterprises based on free software (library, you can even write a new application (whether it is a free software or not) for the enterprise's "Informatization" (according to our statement. Software for profit does not have to be "privatized ". Using Free Software for profit is far from enough. By throwing out a free software "product" (for example, what release version) and waiting for "customer service call for help", you certainly won't be able to make any big money. For the profit of free software, you must rely on "software customization" for the customer to charge for customized services. This use of free software will certainly be able to commit (large) money.

In today's situation, programmers who really know "Free Software" are in short supply. Technical talents who have passed the LPI (Linux Professional Institute) international certification are even more scarce human resources. A young man, playing windows all day, feels pretty good, but once asked him about the "Basic Skills" of his computer, it looks silly and cute. Business owners do not like such employees. On the contrary, it is easy and easy for a Linux master to ask him to play with windows.

Yesterday afternoon, I met an old friend at youyi hotel and learned that he (a well-known company) is setting up a Linux team. It is so exciting to have more than 100 people, therefore, the above discussion was triggered. Interested parties, I am willing to free (here to use its "free" connotation) Help contact (ym717@vip.sina.com ).
